Negative. It's about an hour or so. Do not speed! place is trafficked by LE a lot, as noted the crime rate. Got pulled over for doing 5 over just North of Cario.

Sorry. I wasn't specific. I was planning to cross from Wickliff KY (US51). Looks like I'd barely touch IL that way.
Can't be more than a couple of miles.
Thanks for rhe warning on the police.

There is a nice meat market south of Heman, MO at the town of Swiss, MO. However they probably don't open until 10 AM or so.
Hwy 19 is a fun road.

The overlook I mentioned is approx 3/4 mile south of Wickliff and called Fort Jefferson Hill Park.
You can see both the Mississippi and Ohio River bridges from this spot.

Crossing at Wickliff is ok. Cairo is ok to go thru in the day. There are no services to be had there. Sorry little town that has long since passed its glory. At one time it must have been a nice river town.
I knew the name from this song that popped into my head when plotting the route.

Yeah, that was my plan. I might take that Ferry on the way home.
Depends on how tired of riding I am at that point.

Fort Defiance State Park just south of Cairo is nice though. Stand in Illinois with one foot in the Ohio river and the other in the Mississippi while looking at Missouri and Kentucky.

Just a little north of Cairo is the booming metropolis of Future City. If like Cairo you will love Future City. It’s so far into the future you can’t see it.
Enjoy your trip across my home state of Misery and the Missouri Ozarks. Some great back roads to be had.

Already a lot of BMW's southbound on the Avenue of the Saints in Missouri and Iowa. Hwy's 61 and 27. Getting eager to hit the road Wednesday bright and early.

Remember as you near the rally both Missouri and Arkansas offer plenty of opportunities to cool a bit.

Same here. Gonna hit the Avenue tomorrow somewhat late (Leaving Milwaukee around noon). Gonna post up in Jeff City and hit the rally via twistys first thing Thursday am. Anyone is welcome to join. Here is the GPX from Jeff City to Springfield
Joplin to Springfield, think my oil will even get warmed up properly? I can take the long way highway 90, 86 and 76.
I injured my knee Monday, of course. So I may drive if it is still sore.
I am going home each night, gonna sleep in my bed so I do not make the knee worse trying to sleep in a tent.
I have my whirlpool tub for extra treatment.
I was looking forward to camping, but that can not happen with the walking I will be doing. see you all there.

Looking at the forecast temps, I wimped out and booked a motel. I remember my hot tent at Sedalia.
